If you review all the ODI matches between South Africa and Australia, you will also see that South Africa is ahead of Australia, although it is not by much, they have met 110 times in ODIs before today, out of which South Africa has won 55 times and Australia has won 151 times.
Actually, statistics are not always true in cricket. Wins and losses are determined by the performance of the match. In the past, we have seen many big teams losing matches to small teams, meaning they performed well that day and lost. Let's see if Australia can win the series against South Africa in ODIs after winning the T20 series.

South Africa start was excellent and they made good partnership at the start of the match. Aiden Markram was a person who made 82 runs in this match and he played only 81 balls in this match. Temba Bavuma was a person who also did well and he made 65 runs in this match and he got great respect in the south Africa cricket which is excellent and he gave win to South Africa team many matches and now he has firm position in the South Africa team. First fours players did excellent and we saw good partnerships in this match. Matthew Breetzke was a person who made 57 runs in this match and played only 56 balls . Mitchell Marsh did great job in this match but he could not make century in this match and he was about at 88 runs and we saw good partnership at the start but after that players Could not handle the pressure of match and they gave back to back wickets and they lost the match by 98 runs.

Australia also did well in the beginning, Australia scored 60 runs without losing any wicket in 7 overs. But after Travis Head got out they started to lose quick wickets and lost 6 wickets for 89 runs. Australia's middle order batsmen could not do well. Apart from Mitchell Marsh, no other batsman could do well, Australia lost due to the failure of the Australian batsmen, if the batsmen could have done well then Australia could have won. Keshav Maharaj bowled brilliantly for South Africa which is very commendable, he took 5 wickets alone. Now South Africa are leading the series by winning the 1st match, which will be challenging for Australia to win the series.
